Brief Answer:
Hello dear. He requires good nutrition

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the details. I would also like to know what type of leukemia he suffered from. In blood disorders like leukemia, it is natural for immune system to get down as chemotherapy also kills good cells. Only way to keep it up is to take good nutritious food. Home cooked food is advisable. Avoid crowded places and people suffeeing from infections. Wear a face mask. Complete all your treatment.
Thanks and regards
